"Mandan Plains" makes no sense - the Mandan tribe were not a Plains group but lived in semi-permanent villages along the upper Missouri river. They are classed as "marginally Plains" because they were not primarily nomadic buffalo hunters.
The Mandan women grew the usual crops of maize (Indian corn), beans and squash, along with sunflowers for their nutritious seeds. Men would hunt deer and buffalo occasionally out on the Plains, or visited other tribes to exchange their own produce for hides and meat.

Crazy Horse, the famed Lakota leader, did not have direct ties to the Mandan tribe. He was primarily associated with the Oglala Sioux and the larger Lakota nation. However, the Lakota and Mandan tribes interacted and traded with each other, and there were instances of cultural exchange between the two groups. While Crazy Horse's primary affiliations were with the Lakota, the broader relationships among Plains tribes included connections with the Mandan.

The Mandan Indians built their houses, known as earth lodges, primarily using materials such as wooden frames covered with layers of earth and grass. These structures were semi-subterranean, with a central hearth for cooking and warmth. The earth insulation helped regulate temperature, making the lodges suitable for the harsh winters of the Great Plains. The design provided a sturdy and comfortable living space for the Mandan community.
